Welcome to Youth Arts!
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We welcome your student to the Hope Center for Arts & Technology’s (HopeCAT’s) after school youth arts program. Our program will offer after-school arts instruction to High School students in the surrounding communities in the mediums of ceramics, screen printing, print making, painting, drawing, and digital arts.
Classes run Monday-Thursday from 3:15pm – 5:15pm with Open Studio on Fridays. Each student may sign up for one class per week unless space permits two (open studios don’t count). If you are accepted into a class, please make sure to read your calendar to make note of definite class dates (some are cancelled due to holidays).
Once schools select students for the program, class lists for the semester will be emailed to the address listed with the online enrollment form.
Transportation will differ based on school district and availability. ALL students must provide their own transportation for Open Studio Fridays.
Art today is not just a collection of objects to see in a museum or an event with performers on a stage. Art can also be a way of cultivating habits, seeing, imagining, solving problems, and acting with others in the world. During out-of-school time, HopeCAT provides a safe, nurturing environment where students are free to make decisions about their learning with the supportive guidance of caring mentors while working in exceptional studios with industry-standard tools and resources.
As an approved partner of your child’s school district, HopeCAT will be authorized to receive personally identifiable student educational data including grades, PSSA and other assessment scores, attendance and discipline data, credit count, and graduation rates.
If you DO NOT want this information shared with HopeCAT please contact your child’s school district and his/her name will be added to an op-out list.
